“It is very touching - but at the same time extremely funny and full of nonchalant wow effect.
A story that goes straight to the heart.”

An autobiographical show of two women’s wild joyride through two decades in the world of circus arts. Told with warmth, humour, and dizzying acrobatics, this show invites the audience to share the highs and lows of a life in showbusiness.
From the glitz and glamour to the countless hours of practice, the blood, the sweat and the tears.
Beyond the hard times, though, this story celebrates the inspiration that live performance can offer to audiences and a friendship between two women that has stood the test of time.
FEEDBACK FROM THE AUDIENCE:
“Your show was amazing - I am moved to tears. Thank you for your authenticity and humour. The show will stay with me for a long time.”
“I loved how bravely you told some of your most personal stories. It was often really gut-wrenching while being entertaining at the same time.”
“Your show moved me to tears.”
“A performance everyone should see.”
“A show that leave you speechless. A show that’s touching, inspiring, triggering, awakening and makes you laugh and cry. A show that takes your breath a way.”
“The performance is so funny that tears will flow, but also incredibly touching and impressive as the two circus artists take us through the ups and downs of their long life careers. This really is a show is a must!”
"The performance was something unbelievably amazing. The way the story unfolded, how in the middle of laughing, the laughter gets stuck in your throat, suddenly I understand what is being told, and I start to think about what I was laughing at earlier—this kind of thing doesn't happen often. Laughter and directness, skill and friendship."
